About Walwayne Court School

Walwayne Court School has a strong parent community, with 88% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure, drawn from 69 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, suggests a generally positive experience among families. The school is also notably popular at the admissions stage: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 62 applications for 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.77, and all 35 first-preference applicants were offered a place. Parents reported particularly high satisfaction with the range of clubs and activities on offer, with 80% strongly agreeing that their child can take part, and 70% strongly agreeing that their child is happy at the school. However, there are some areas of concern: only 42% strongly agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and 28% disagreed that the school gives SEND children the support they need.
